I’ve never done a “Wordless Wednesday” before, but I thought we’d have a good time with these pictures Dave and I took of Amtrak’s 40th Anniversary exhibit train at the Strasburg Railroad in June, pulled by a P40 locomotive. Considering these to decorate Jacob’s room, since he’s a fan of Amtrak.
We had our truck about 14 months before learning about the “Average Fuel” setting that ties to the trip odometer. Yep…that’s the total number of miles driven on our two-week road trip in the lower right. And, as an added bonus, we have the average mileage. That’ll come in handy for some additional calculations. Let’s … Read more
We learned this already on our drive to Orlando last weekend. Navarre, Florida to Orlando is about 6 hours worth of driving. We were able to get from Raleigh, NC to Washington, D.C. in less time. But when we started doing our driving planning for our annual June trip to central PA for Dave’s family … Read more
I found this flyer that was handed to me when I turned on the Disney World Tickets last Thursday. I remember stuffing it into our backpack as soon as I got it, and while cleaning out the backpack yesterday I found it. This is the no-kidding real fine print about the extension to the Disney … Read more
I have to introduce this to the masses. I just have to! When Dave and I were visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, we enjoyed visiting the little grocery store up the street from our hotel. With the continental breakfast being $13.50 CD per person, per day, just picking up a loaf of bread, a block of butter … Read more
I copied the flower pictures into a new slide show. Enjoy!
The reason we went up to Estes Park was to visit Rocky Mountain National Park. We spent 2 days at the park enjoying hikes and scenic drives.
We took a somewhat advanced trail near the Bear Lake trailhead on the first day, I think some of the rangers were surprised that we were considering taking our young boys, but they did really well. Yep, we were going way up there!

After our day in Golden, we made our way up into the mountains towards our next stop: Estes Park! Dave had been to the mountains in Colorado before, but I never had. I’d only been TDY to Boulder and Louisville, CO for a meeting. And there was no sightseeing on that trip! Anyway, the drive … Read more
After Rose’s Saturday night reception, we checked out of the hotel on Sunday morning and enjoyed a beautiful drive up to Golden, about 25 miles west of Denver. There were two things in particular we wanted to see in Golden: The Colorado Railroad Museum and the Coors Brewery Tour. I’m falling behind on my posts … Read more
Earlier this month the family paid a trip to our neighbor state to the west: Colorado. We were invited to our friend Rose’s wedding at Buckley AFB near Denver! We worked with Rose in Florida, and I had a chance to work with her again while I was deployed in Spring 2009. After a VERY … Read more
